Economic and political stability
During the past ten years, El Salvador has achieved an economic and political stability that has earned international recognition and has positioned it as a model country in Central America. In 2001, the government adopted the US dollar thereby eliminating the country’s currency risk.
 
The Heritage Foundation & Wall Street Journal’s Economic Freedom Index has once again ranked El Salvador as one of the most economically-free countries in Latin America, second only to Chile. It is also one of three countries in Latin America with an investment grade (Moody’s, Standard and Poor’s, Fitch ratings).
